Psalm 105:13-25

English Standard Version

¹³wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴he ^(A)allowed no one to oppress them;
    he ^(B)rebuked kings on their account,
¹⁵saying, ^(C)“Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶When he ^(D)summoned a famine on the land
    and ^(E)broke all supply^[a] of bread,
¹⁷he had ^(F)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was ^(G)sold as a slave.
¹⁸His ^(H)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹until ^(I)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord ^(J)tested him.
²⁰^(K)The king sent and ^(L)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
²¹he ^(M)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
²²to bind^[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then ^(N)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(O)sojourned in ^(P)the land of Ham.
²⁴And the Lord ^(Q)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
²⁵He ^(R)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to ^(S)deal craftily with his servants.
